I've installed bitcoin core 0.14.2 on my desktop (AMD FX-8300 w/8GB RAM).

It's been running for three days now and I am seeing a Progress of about 56.77%.

Any idea on how long it will take to finish syncing?

Thanks!


It will probably take another three days to finish (at least).

Generally, the syncing process can take anywhere between around 8 hours to several weeks, so be patient in waiting for it to download (though it shouldn't take any longer than 4 days providing thre are no complications to it).
